Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Statement by Lord Bellamy on 11 October 2022 (HLWS305) regarding their policy not to allow transgender women with male genitalia to be held in mainstream women’s prisons, whether they plan to adopt a similar policy on the placement of transgender women in female wards in hospitals, by way of guidance to all Primary Care Trusts.

NHS England is currently reviewing its guidance ‘Delivering Same Sex Accommodation’.
